Young neighbor boy was walking through my backyard after playing with my even younger children. He tells me that "your bees stung me." No, no, no, they are not MY bees (and they didn't sting him, they are mining bees...and they are NOT mine). Heck, young neighbor boy was only about 9 at the time. How old is OP's neighbor?

Well, technically, there have been nuisance complaints about people keeping bird feeders that attract huge numbers of pigeons and other birds, leading to a bit of, shall we say, environmental downturn in the immedate neighbourhood. It would be reasonable to complain about someone attracting 1,000 starlings that roosted in your yard after feasting at the neighbours.

But butterflies? The mind boggles.

EvilTwik imagines putting a dead one on her walk, then running after her screaming, "You KILLED my butterfly! I'll have the law on you!"

My cousin's memoir of love and loneliness while raising a child with multiple disabilities will be out on Amazon soon! Know the Night, by Maria Mutch, has been called "full of hope, light, and companionship for surviving the small hours of the night."

EvilTwik is making "Butterfly Attack Formation Training" signs as we speak.

I know there is a wide variety of topics in this forum but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this title. I thought maybe it was about a dog named Butterfly! Too funny! You should submit this somewhere.

I used to work at an inside butterfly garden (attached to the U.S.' largest insectarium!) and this is CRACKING ME UP! I would go home with a lot of butterfly poop on me, but we had between 800 and 1600 butterflies in a fairly small place. They poop a lot, but it's very very small. And reddish brown.
